Ezequiel 10:17

17 Quando os querubins se mantinham imóveis, elas também ficavam; e, quando os querubins se levantavam, elas se levantavam com eles, porque o espírito dos seres viventes estava nelas.

Ezequiel 10:17 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:17

When they stood, [these] stood
When the one were inactive, lifeless, and without motion, making no progress in knowledge, experience, and practice, the other were so likewise; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:21); and when they were lifted up, [these] lifted up themselves [also];
like people, like priest, whether in things commendable or not, ( Hosea 4:9 ) ; for the spirit of the living creature [was] in them;
the same spirit that was in the cherubim was in the wheels; and the same Spirit of God, who is a "spirit of life" F3, as the words may be rendered, is in the churches, as in the ministers; generally speaking, if the one are lively, the other are also, and both move as they are acted by the Spirit; and also their motion from place to place, which is spoken of in ( Ezekiel 10:18 ) , is directed by the Spirit; see ( Acts 16:6 Acts 16:7 ) .

Ezequiel 10:17 In-Context

15 Então os querubins se elevaram. Eram os mesmos seres viventes que eu tinha visto junto ao rio Quebar.
16 Quando os querubins se moviam, as rodas ao lado deles se moviam; quando os querubins estendiam as asas para erguer-se do chão, as rodas também iam com eles.
17 Quando os querubins se mantinham imóveis, elas também ficavam; e, quando os querubins se levantavam, elas se levantavam com eles, porque o espírito dos seres viventes estava nelas.
18 E a glória do SENHOR afastou-se da entrada do templo e parou sobre os querubins.
19 Enquanto eu observava, os querubins estenderam as asas e se ergueram do chão, e as rodas foram com eles. Eles pararam à entrada da porta oriental do templo do SENHOR, e a glória do Deus de Israel estava sobre eles.
